Create User When Identity Exists?

Question

Good day all.&nbsp; I am running into a problem when trying to create a User.&nbsp; I have an Identity that is used during Lifecycle Released state for documents.&nbsp; I would like this Identity to send an e-mail to a specific account.&nbsp; I figured that I would create a User to add the e-mail to, but when I create the User I receive a message stating that I can't because the Identity already exists.&nbsp; How can I fix this issue?&nbsp; Also, how can I associate the two?&nbsp; Thank you for the help.

Hi Nathan,

Your existing identity is group identity(is_alias=0) ?
Create users with different names (set email ids for every user) &amp; add users identity under your existing group identity.
While sending email&nbsp; fetch all users from group identity &amp; send email.

Regards,

Suhas,

Thank you for your suggestion.&nbsp; I want to associate the Identity with a&nbsp;user directly.&nbsp; I found that there is an Alias that associates the two, but I can't figure out how to change the User or Identity with the Alias.&nbsp;

Hi Nathan
Using below AML query you can connect User and Identity&nbsp;
&lt;AML&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;Item type="User" id="" action="add" doGetItem="0"&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp;// Random GUID &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;login_name&gt;&lt;/login_name&gt; // User Login Name &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;first_name&gt;&lt;/first_name&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;last_name&gt;&lt;/last_name&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;logon_enabled&gt;&lt;/logon_enabled&gt; // Default 1 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;owned_by_id&gt;&lt;/owned_by_id&gt; // Existing Identity GUID&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;email&gt;&lt;/email&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;Relationships&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;Item type="Alias" id="" action="add"&gt; // Random GUID &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;related_id&gt;&lt;/related_id&gt;&nbsp; // Existing Identity GUID&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;source_id&gt;&lt;/source_id&gt; // Above User Random GUID &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;/Item&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;/Relationships&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;/Item&gt; &lt;/AML&gt;
Example Query&nbsp;
&lt;AML&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;Item type="User" id="21928F9AC5DB44A4BB8A9FC3273FA85F" action="add" doGetItem="0"&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;login_name&gt;existinguser&lt;/login_name&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;first_name&gt;Existing&lt;/first_name&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;last_name&gt;User&lt;/last_name&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;logon_enabled&gt;1&lt;/logon_enabled&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;owned_by_id&gt; F2C3755755C44EB6B81AFEEF1C49473E&lt;/owned_by_id&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;email&gt;existinguser@gmail.com&lt;/email&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;Relationships&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;Item type="Alias" id="7766F3F302644E128C60A88F7DC9863E" action="add"&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;related_id&gt;F2C3755755C44EB6B81AFEEF1C49473E&lt;/related_id&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;source_id&gt;21928F9AC5DB44A4BB8A9FC3273FA85F&lt;/source_id&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;/Item&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;/Relationships&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;/Item&gt; &lt;/AML&gt;
